In all USIs (to date) characters speak using language. Most of these, if not all, have made-up names but they're all based on real languages.
Meta-speaking, every USI has an official language, generally French or English. That means most of what is not deprecated should be written in this USI's official language -- this rule itself is pretty much already deprecated, this wiki is proof of that.
Official languages for each USI
Each USI has an official language in which every document related to this USI should be written. Even if this rule is far from being strictly followed, it still exists and is theoretically in effect. Documents can be written with any writing system as long as it is still phonetically relevant to the official language of the USI in question.
